June is a very important month to me.
Its Pride month! š
But itās also the month my divorce was finalized years ago.
Itās the month I gave birth alone, only the biological father in the room with me.
I remember the Beatles yellow submarine playing, I remember the nurses calling me brave and when one doctor accidentally walked into my room - WHOOPS š¬- and I remember eating a lot of Italian ice because it was the only thing I could eat.
I remember the epidural wearing off right before I was supposed to push and I remember hearing somebody scream from the room next door and realizing that that was actually me.
& while I feel silly sometimes, buying pajamas thinking āthis will be great post partum in the futureā or deep diving strollers deciding between or
Iām proud of myself regardless of all of my failures and accomplishments; because I kept going, I kept faith in a future that I had started dreaming for myself the moment I saw that positive pregnancy test.
